I just hit the wall today.
I bought Ecks vs Sever (GBA) for $6.

I only used it once or twice and it says I can't use it anymore.

Yeah, I reached my limit last night. It sucks because it's not how many games you buy, but how many orders you place. I placed 2 orders using the code (1 game each).

But I did snag Viewtiful Joe for $27 shipped

I only got to use it once. I was entering the codes to compare prices (I didn't want to get out a calculator) and apparently I hit my limit without even buying anything. Live and learn. There was a new 20 percent code on the website today. I'm sure everyone knows about it but it was "20PRWN".

All you have to do is delete your cookies and/or create a new account to use the code more than the allowed # of times...

Someone said EB has a blacklist. Haha I'd hate to get on it, but I think I'm really close if not on it already.

I think it was reset as I can use AFF25 again.

What's the expiration on that code? (Or is it unknown?)

I've used it for one order so far.

I haven't used it in a while, but last December I was blocked out from using the AFF25 because it said I had reached my limit.

I had a recent problem where the same incorrect game was sent to me twice (they had the previous version of the game listed as a newer one) and while speaking to them about that I mentioned getting locked out on the AFF25 deal, and they said if it ever happens, call them and they would apply the code during the phone order.

Clearing out your cookies is probably the easiest option though, as discount codes are applied _before_ you log into their system for payment purposes.

i hit the wall a few days ago, so no more aff25 for me.

I take it back...its not working for me again.

I'll contact EB and see if I can a new code for CAGs.

Go and read the posts above. its AFF25, its off of pre-owned games at ebgames.com. And while were at it, there is a search button near the top of the screen that will help you find other deals later

Thanks but I found it already

the aff25 code still works. perhaps many of you have reached your discount limit. be careful finding ways around the limit (clearing cookies/new acct-email, etc), it may result in you getting blacklisted.

good luck. I better use it quickly before eb kills it. everytime i've called them about coupon codes they kill it w/i 24 hours. sometimes I believe they aren't aware that the codes are still effective.

*thread merged*I tried to see the price of a game after the AFF25 coupon and it told me that I had already used the AFF25 promotion the maximum number of times.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Not me yet, surprisingly, but from what I've read here you can clear out your cookies and re-use the code. Not that I'm endorsing such an activity, of course...

I have bought a lot of used games from ebgames.com and will continue to do so as long as I can use the aff25 code. If they start blocking usage of the code by setting a flag in your user account (on their servers), I'd suggest going elsewhere for used games.

I love their used game prices but the aff25 code is what will keep me going back for more.

Any results yet on a new coupon code?

Frankly EB's used games are only worth it with the aff25 code cause most of their used games are way overpriced. Some used games are only marked down 2 or 3 dollars and they are really old.

the limit is 50$ of savings ive reset the code and it works for me

Yup, the results are its not going to happen.
I did my best guys, sorry.

If you guys can think of any promotion ideas for EB, let me know and I'll pass it on to them.
